M is for Home is where the Heart is.

neighbors house...(they have a six story porch)

In case you’re visiting for A-Z and don’t know me all that well, I have a mildly morbid sense of humor. That being said, I live in a very conservative neighborhood. I mean, I say what street I live on and people give me odd looks super conservative neighborhood.

The street is lined with McMansions, and houses that look like they were just plucked out of the French Riviera. Then you’ve got the house that I rent, which has had minimum work done since it was built in like the mid 50’s. Brick and stone, with a two stories and a sub basement, an over run garden and a poorly maintained driveway. It looks out of place. It’s a super nice house. It just doesn’t fit in with the others in the neighborhood.For a while my roommate and I’ve been joking about what we, (and by we, I mean he, cause I don’t have any money) would do if we bought the house, and tore it down. His plan is to build a giant glass tower. I however, really want to build Minas Morgul. Now I’m gonna go ahead and assume that you’re not a super geek like I am and need a reminder of what Minas Morgul is:

Yes, if I had my way, it would light up, and play that music. And I’d maybe invest in some robot Nasgulls to fly about the tower.

Now I just need to find a millionaire to marry who would think this is the best idea ever. I have a couple of pretty solid reasons for wanting to build Minas Morgul, one being it would really really upset my neighbors, not that they’ve ever done anything to me. Two, cause it would be awesome. Three because people would never have a hard time finding my house again. As of right now people often get lost when they are coming over to my house. Part of that might have something to do with my directions:

I don't know, I think Minus Morgal would fit in nicely with your conservative neighborhood. It's got an almost gothic look to it though, so you may need to add some verge to the front yard to soften its edges. :)

Hello, Fellow Challenger, from #399 - aka Rockin'Chair Reflections! I think the glass tower would clear up any directions! Love the street you live on and wish you could figure out a way to let the neighbors know just what is residing in their midst!

Story:

I am 25 years old, and have been told more than once, that I have a story to tell, or that I should write a memoir. I am not sure if I belive it, but I do know that I have good days and bad days, and on bad days I have to share, and what could be better than sharing annonomously with the internet world. I am not doing this for sympothy and I am not doing this for money. I am doing this because, I have long lived with the knowledge, that maybe, just maybe, my story could help someone else, like me. Someone going through what I am/did, or contemplating making the mistakes I made, to let people out there know, you are not alone.
